It’s not long now until the Shadow of the Erdtree arrives but based on progression %%AUTO_LINK_PLACEHOLDER_1%%, there are plenty of you out there that may not be ready for it.
There are some requirements that need to be met before you get access to the expansion content. Assuming you have already completed the game and moved on to New Game Plus, you will be fine, but as has been pointed out, only 62% of PC players have completed the game.
With that in mind, Bandai Namco has issued this warning:
Friendly PSA for all those looking forward to #ELDENRING Shadow of the Erdtree.
You have less than 2 weeks to prepare! https://t.co/J18CrUkDQm

From what we understand there are at least two things you need to have completed. Defeat Starscourge Radahn (map) and Mogh (map).
The bottom line is that the further into the game you have reached, the better. There’s still time before release to get these two tasks done so pick the game back up now if you’ve put it down for a while.
